Happy Square Root Day, Nerds!

Today is March 3rd, 2009 or Square Root Day!


Get it, 3/3/09? For math nerds, today is a pretty big deal. People are actually throwing parties all over the world. I read one report where a group of math fanatics are getting together today and serving root vegetables to each other in the shape of squares. Math-larious! Really, were you expecting them to each drink 3 beers, 3 shots and do 3 bong hits? Perhaps Val Kilmer would have done that in Real Genius, and then he would have frozen the hallway with liquid nitrogen so everyone could have an ice skating party... but cool nerds like that only exist in crapppy 80's movies.

Square Root Day occurs only nine times in a century. The last one occurred on 2/2/04, and the next one is in seven years on 4/4/16... so party on, dudes!
